Phobia Project Preview

1. A phobia is a fear of an object or a situation.
2. Ablutophobia- the fear of washing or bathing, Bibliophobia- the fear of books, Cacophobia- the fear of ugliness, Didaskaleinophobia- the fear of going to school, Ephebiphobia- the fear of teenagers.
3. Phobias for the shoot:
a. Ligyrophobia- Fear of loud noises.
b. Demophobia- Fear of crowds. (Agoraphobia)
c. Laliophobia or Lalophobia- Fear of speaking.

a. I could shoot Ligyrophobia, or the fear of load noises by having my model scrunch up their eyes and push their hands up against their ears, in attempt to block the supposed sound. I could put them in a room with a blank wall and have them up against that, while using rule of thirds. I would have the lighting focused on them, and have them dress casually. 

b. I could shoot Demophobia, or the fear of crowds by having my model sit down against a wall with their hands wrapped around their knees, while looking down in their lap. Their facial expression would be sad, and the background lighting would be pretty dark. Also, they would wear dark colors. 

c. I could shot Laliophobia/Lalophobia by having my model have tape covering their mouth, while they're standing up. Their eyes would be wide, and they would be wearing plain colors. They could have their finger up, in attempt to show that they wouldn't speak, and also be following rule of thirds. 

4. Some techniques that could help me with my photos are: 
a. Ligyrophobia- background: make the background plain
b. Demophobia- viewpoint: did a photo from above, or an interesting viewpoint
c. Laliophobia/Lalophobia: use symmetry with the objects in the picture
